Green on Lake Michigan, is the eastern termifius, 1nd Winons the western, of this road. This geeful ronte furnislies transport for the north- past section of St. Paul, and all stations west 1nd south not easily reached from Chicigo or (ilwsukee by the Clicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul eystem st Winona, and the Chicago & Northwestern system at Merrillan.

He thought that was wrong. Mr. Camerou (Rep., Pa.) said Licut. Grant Wwas on the staff of the Licutenant-General,with the rank of Licutcnant-Colonel. The selection was o compliment to the President of the United States by the Licutenant-General of the 5 and if he had not been selected for that ¢, 2 Major or Licuteuant-Colonel would have b What were the services of Gen. Grunt? He fought nearl; many battles and was more cvessTul then” Napoleon. Wellington fn_all his military scrviees was not to be compared to Grant, yet England honored him with the title of Duke, and Parliament acknowledged bis serv- s by rewarding bim handsomely. Why should war be made upon Fred Grant? “For this was a war upon Fred, and a very small war, as the Government_would probably save $500 or $600 by reducing him to his rauk ‘of Licutenant. Mr, Thurman said the Senator from Pannsyl- vania should be under obligations to him g{‘lmrm n) for affording him the opportunity of ivering such an excellent speech in favor of Gen. Grant and_Gen. Sheridau, but his friend was bad in his bistory aud bad in his logic. 1o (Camerou) alluded to the awards bestowed upon the Iron Duke by Great Britain. A single year's income of the Marquis of Westminster or ihe Duke of Buecleugh was more than the whole amount voted to Wellington by Parlia- ment. The Senator (Cameron) said Parlfament Testowed upon Wellington the title of Duke. ble Amerean people had bestowed upon Gen. Grant a title greater than that of Duke, the title of the President of the United Stutes. It would not do to say thut the_Ameriean people were ungrateful to Gen. Grant. He (Thur- man) did not think it right that a mere Licutenznt _should be appoinied to the rank of Licutenant-Colonel and receive the pay of that gradé, when there were men who had grown gray fn the service of their country still subordinate oflicers of the army. e bad never said an unkind word of the President; bat, while ke respected him for his achievements, lic must say that it was not the proper way to reward him for bis _ services Dy sclecting his son for the position. It was ing a member of his fumnily and bove the veterans of . war that The people d not desire to honor him by selecting his son, in the first or second year of Lis scrvice, for this position. There was 2 form of governuient in the world where the nation was bound to take care of the prozeny of the King, but that was not in our_forui of government, and what coald not be done here Gireetly shotld not be done indireetly. Mr. ‘Edmunds (Rep., Vt.) suid_the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Thurman) had alluded to the war-worn veierans. Geil. Sheridan himself was one of them, and something was due him. The Jaw said he might select twooflicers for his aids, -and be went Lo his old companion in arms und said: “I know the fighting blood and execu- tive blood of your family is good—that has been. dumonslmtmf; let me have your son for my staff.” Mr. Edmunds then argued that Gen.

Yeas ago,~I'm horrificd to think how mauy, for I was then a protty active, muscular chap, a5 you might well suppose from the sizo and strength of my arm even now, in my past 60th year,—I wos thenin my 20th year; had ‘““doubled Cape Horn,”—no - fool of a Job in 1830; had been lean around this planet (I've often wondered, and do still, even after onc of Dr. Swing's best, double-distilled, and, as John- ny Crapcaud says, verrie play-sunt discourses, whodidplan it). But & truce to digression, which Tabhor as much as Byron pretended to do. Let me come back to “mutton,” As I was saying, in 1833 I was Sccond Mate,— for, mind you, though I bhad legrned my ‘“uaccidence” at the Berkshire Gymuasium, preparing. for Yale, I went through all my sailor grades, from the “fawk- sle” to quarter-deck. Well, at all Ball liner Caledonis, of the New York & Liver- pool packet-line, and we were on our trip to the westward, in that stormicst month .on the Atiantie, March, with some 500 stecrage and about 30 first-cluss cabin passengers, We hud a first-rato crew of 80’ able scamen,— as good sailors as ever reefed a topsail or “spliced the main-brace.” They were of all natfonalities, ahnost,—Swedes, Danes, witha sprinkling of English and "Americans, ind one handsome Portuguese. Weused to carry sail to the last minute in those d; and then i man must know how to take it"in ship-shape and “ Bristol fashion,” or Le_would Le very apt to lose spars and canvas, and eyen peril the safety of the ship and the lives of all on board. THE GULF STREAM. Continued head-winds had forced us down in unpleasant proximity to the Gulf Stream, which it was desirable to avoid; for, once within its influence for a very few hours, a ship would lose more westing thun she had made in several days. That Gulf Stream Is, to my mind, one of the wonders of the world; nor has Science, even in this cnlightened age, succeededin solving the problem of its source or its dircetion. Syveep- ing out from the Gulf of Mexico, around the TFlorida peninsula, at the rate of 2 miles per Tlour, it follows our coist northerly till in_the neigliborhood, or latitude ratlier, of Cape Hut- teras, it bears easterly, aud in mid-ocean veers toward the African” coust. Thus much has DLeen proven by facts; for a bottle thrown over- buard off Ri6 Janefro was subsequently found on the Afric shore, while another comniitted to the deep off Cape Horn was picked up on the north coast of Ireland. Another singular and beautiful character of the Stream is its pellucid clesrness, aud its tur- quoisc-blue color. I bave often thrown over- board pleces of look{ng-glass, and watched them slowly, slowly sinking ont of sight, at a_depth that would scem surprising, A BURIAL IN THE STREAM. Some years before the {ime to iwhich this sketth alludes, 1was before the mast, in the same ship—the Caledonie—when one of my ship- ates fell from the fore-top-gallant-yaid, oue day,—striking his-breast upon the shéer-pole, a 2juch fron bar seczed across the. shrouds of the lower rigging, aud smeshing his breast-bone to splinters. Tt was a lovely Sabbath morning, and the ship lay becalmed, when, at 10 o'clock, “All hands to bury the dead—ahoy!” rung through the ship; und, as the fo’castie-bell was tolled, eabin and steeruge passengers, and crew, assembled at'the gangway 1o commit the semnan’s body to the decp. In those days it was customary to sew the corpse in o hummock, and_sttack two or three holy-stones or a cannon-ball to tbe feet, to sink it out of sight. In this instance, the holy-stones were used. And there, stretehed out on 2 plank which projected over the ratl, lay the dead budy of our ghipmate. 1l¢ wasa handsume younsg fellow, and a great favorite with all on board; eud many a tearful eye was seen among passen- gers and crew at the soletun seene before them. OLD CAPT. GRAILANM came from the cabiu, as the hour approached, with his_gold spectacles on, and bis_golds clasped Prayer-Book -in his band; while his handsome, “though weather-beaten, features wore a sulemnity in accordance with the-scene. Qur Second Mate—01ld Dodd—was gu_unedu- cated Englisman, who, perhaps, had never witnessed w formal burial ut sea. It was bis duty, 85 the words were pronounved, “We therefore commit his body ‘to the deep,” to ralse the head of the plank, and let the body slide into its ocean-gra The old Captain reud the touching burial-service in a voice that thrilled through passengers and crew, and, when he came to the words of comuittal, e patised a moment for the launching of the corpse; but 0ld Dodd stood still, his old cap gras tightly in his hand,and his face looking as suanctimonious as @ parson’s, Capt. Grabam lovked over his spectacles at lLim, aud acain repeated the words, almost sternly this thme:; ~“We therefore commit -Lis body to thie decp (D~u it, sir! heuve the body overboard!), to be turned into corruption,” ete., ete. The adjuration was uttered us if it were a mere parenthesis 0f the service; but a smile was observable on many a face that had before been wet with tears. I stood by the rail tooking down as the white- robed body of my shipmate descended into the deep, and suddenl® one of the holy-stones burst from its contlncmeut, and the corpse sunk very slowly,—oscillating in a weird and_impressive and horrfying_me, almost, with its movements. It seemed as if it would nish from my sight, and since that time I have bad o strange dréad of being buried at sea E “PORTIGEE JOE.” I stated that, amnong our crew, was onc Portuguese. Ile was an excellent sailor, as active aloft gs a cat, and as fearless a man as I ever say. The ladies among the cabin-passengers wére perfectly bewitched about this ¢hap, Who was one of the handsomest men I ever saw. He possessed that Itallan, or rather Castilian beauty, which we associate with the brigand Fra Diavolo; and one romantic young fady used to beg me to send “Joe” to the wheel, so that she might admire his wonder- fully-lustrous eyes. 2 Ohe afternoon, several of the meu eame aft to me to_complain’ of the handsome Portuguese. “Mr. W.,” said one, “wedon't like to have thng Portigee carrying his dagger around with him all thetime. He's always threatening to ‘seesome- body's heart’s blood ’; and yesterday be ground his sheath-knifc down to a double-édged dirk.” I called the watch uft at once, to clap on the spunker-peak-balliards; and, while Mister Joe had his hands raised above his head, T pulled his knife from the sheath, and, finding tuat he had really ground the back down to a sharp edge, I tosscd it over the rail, and told him not to be found wearing such & weapon azain while be was on board the ship. He might bave scowled; but, if hedid, I did not notice it. THE GALT. . That night the weather Wwas very stormy, and the men were called to shorten suil. Ln reeting topsails, the post of duty and of honor was at the weather car-ring, on the extremity of the yard, over the yawiing decp. We'were in_ the Gulf Stream, and, as darkness closed around us, the heavy clouds gathered overhead, the loud mutterings of distant thunder were heard, and the sharp lighting-flashes illuminated the scene for an instant, muking tho darkesg moreintense, Again the hands were turned up todouble-reef the topsalls aud the courses; and, as the yards were lowered, I jumpod aloft, and, straddling the wenther yard-arm of the main-topsail, shouted to the'men who ivere swm‘miq? u}y the rigeing, “Lay out, mylads, cheerly, while there’s aTull?” when a figure, clothed ina white duck frack or jacket, scemed to fly out along the yard, and, as I was hauling out the ear-ring, my muscles hardened with the effort, I felt a sharp pain in my left arm, and saw, Dy a lightning- tash, b ' A KNIFE DROPPING INTO THE SE4, and the gleaming cyes of “ Portigee Joe,” like Dalls of fire, closo Deside me. I did not utter a word; but, laying hold of the lift,—a stout rope that supportcd the yard when lowered down,—I swung myself into the topmast rig- ging, and slowly descended to the deck, white Thy would-be niurderer coully took my plate, and performed my duty st the weather car ring. Not a soul on board kneyw what had hap- pened; but, as I descended the Jower rigzing, the rattling of the leading trucks aroused the attention of Capt. G., who was standing on the quarter-deck, and he called out, in his grim voice, *Who is that cominz down from the yard before the sail’s reefed?” I made no re- ly, but, went forward and seized o heaver,—a hiéavy piece of hickery used for sefting up rig- ging,—and crouched down under the weather- rail, and, as Joe reached the deck, ahead of all the rest, 1 STRUCK JIIM A HEAVY BLOW, which felled him like an ox. The men were nearly all oft deck now, and I headed them, or- dering them to man the halliards and hoist the yard ‘again. That all this should pass’ unob- served. no one will donbt who bas ever experi- enced the darkness of theGulf Stream in stormy weather. When the yard was hoisted and ‘braced, the old man_said: wateh 2o Selow, Mr. W2 1 grave thie order, and eaid: "“Take that rascal below with you, that Yies there on deck.” This aroused thorn all, and, as the Steward came out with o lantern, Capt.

WALPURGIS’ DAY, now consecrated to St. Walpurga, s, together with its customs, superstitions, ghosts, &e., nothing except a relic of a spring-festival dedi- cated to Donur, or Thor, the Weather-God. It s, therefore, rich in magic and siges, partly of 2 good und partly of a bad character. In Hol- stein they say dew on this morning siguifies a vich year for butter. In Oberplalz, this dew wes, and ‘even still is, considered as 2 restorz- tive. In Lower Susony, to roll in it naked pro- teets from vermin and certain skin-diseases, and to washavith {t drives away freckles. In West- phalia, at sunriso on Walpurgis' Day, they cuta picce of soutlern wood, which was sacred to onar, and strike the cows therewith on the back, in order that their milk muy be abundant. Lentils sown on this day thrive wondrously well. A garland of ivy worn by a muiden on Walpurg!s’ Day lurcs lovers and suitors. A wreath of ground-ivy worn on that day cnables the wearer to recugnize all the witches in the church, since these are distinguished frowm other women of the con: rmfit!un by having milk- nils on their head. May, then, accordiny to the rule of the Mechlon- burg peasauts, there will be a poor barvest. On the “other hand, he who weshes the forehead with said rain will be free from Leadache the following year. In Silesta, they know thet children” born on this day become weak and simple. In East Prussia, geese hutched on Wal- purgis’ Day do not thrive. . Still more important than Walpurgis’ Day is 'HE NIGUT PRECEDING 1T, in which all magic powers are lot loose; for then the Devil aud the witches celebrate 3 great festival on’ some mountaing at the cose of which bad women scatter in all directions in or- der to play tricks upon mankind. ¥or protec- tion the people in North Germany ave various means which caution and superstition do not overlook. The most common one is, that on the evening preceding Walpurgis’ Day, they “paint on all the doors a eross or sureeress’ foot. some places they take threo Little beaps of sult, quictly scatter it between the horns of cow, and then go backwards out of the-stall, Likewise, o zood receipt against witehes, and against the evil glance, is that, on Walpurgis’ Night, brunches of alder and dragons’-blood trec be hung over ‘the stall-door ~Elsewhere they protect the animals from_ sorccresacs by giving them, on the evening of the 30th of April; a mixture of garlie, difl, flour, and houcy. In some places it is suflicient if they lay o seythe ot ax before the stull-door to keep off thie witclies; and_in many villages simply a broom answers. The harvest will'be protected from injury If, on Walpurgis' Niebt, the pea- sants. shoot flre-arins, ur if the chureh-bells bo rung awhile. WITCIES wero formerly, and are now in many countries, women who gove themselves over to the Devil and with his help did much mischief. Wi craft often descended from the mother to the daughter, but usually witches were young girls, —ofien, Indeed, little children,—instructed by old women. In the first place, the bewitched must renounce Gud, baptism, and the Chureh, and swear allegiancoto the Devil. They walked them to a cross-way, or to the first dung-heap, 1aid their hands on'a peeled stafl beld by theen- chanted, and said, “Iscize on this blanched stick, and deny our Lord God and Iis Ten Com- mandments.?”” Then the bond was closed cter- nally, but it was sealed at the GREAT YEARLY WITCH-CONVENTION, OR 8AL- I, which, fu North Germany, was_held on Walpur- gis’ Night. at_the Blocksberg. In Southern Ger- it was held ut other times and places. Wiien the festive dny came, the North-German vitches preparcd with certain magic means for the journey to Blocksberg. They undressed, and " anointed themselves with a salve which made them sleop. We sce them then, on a cat or & ram, a broom or 4 poker, with dishoveled hinir, £o out of the chimuey, and ride through the air. Old and young sister-witchiescome fly- ing from all directions,—devils and Lobolds, speetral animals, dragous, toads, owls, bats, men-without heads, and other forms of witches, until the collection Is innumerable. Then THE PRINCE OF UELL appears in the form of a ram with a human countenance, and, from a rocky chancel, exhorts his troops to faithfulness, for which he promises them riches, honor, and long life. The new ones are then introduced to him by the old. A short examination follows, and, if’ he finds the novices ready to deny the faith eternally, they ‘must assent to 2 formula in which they rénounce God and the * Fat Woman” (as the Virgin Is cilled in the langnage of Hell), the Command- monts and the Sacraments. ~ They must vow and pledge fuithfulness and obedience to the Futher of Lies and Sins, and promise likewise tg{) ;.;ring 19 him as many new servauts as pos- sible. . The Dent now presents the witches with trifles. To the pyorer he gives butter, cheese, and lard; to thé richer, a rose, a brooeh, or a neck-ribbon. 1le baptizes thém with dirty water, provides them with magic signs, and ap- points to each A BODY-DE who is ‘their lover, and likewise minfstering spirtt. The witches receive a bean or a nut, to which their bndy—\.ll:vil is attached. :Ile some- times bears a Christian name, but_usually one not to be found in the Calendar. e is often called Caspar, Conrad, Martin, but more fre- uently Blue-Stocking, White-Feather, Green- un, Feather-Brown, Broad-Foot, Cow-Horn, ete. e is always about the witch; and, a3 she calls him, sometimes oftener, he appears in the field, by the spring, on the way to cliurch, where 1i¢ remains standing by the door. He often makes little presents to his mistress, and often jokes with her. The young witches are instructed in the mmagic art, and initiated into allbad tricks. The efder teke witch-powder, and show the younger how to make witch-salve. Theso learn how tempests and hail-storms des- troy the harvest; how children are made sick; hoW to make cows give blood instead of milk; how to produce nizhtmare, St. Vitus’ Dance, ete. The old witches confess Lefore their los and mester what they have done that was bad during the course of the year; whercupon they will be praised as smart, or censured as lazy. Meonwhile, the place has been filled with peo- ple from all lands, men and women, worldly and Epiritaal, Princesses, peasants, beggar-women, veiled and unveiled, various costumes, condi- tlons, and eyes revel together. Impure songs are sung;, indecent jokes played. Then the ADOBATION OF THE DEVIL begins; the sssombly, turning their backs upon th¢ muster, join hands, form a Jarge ring and skip about, him, then fnally break again in order that he may proffer to them his favor. Wild dances and a rich festival follows. Then there is o parody of the Eucharist. The Hellish Sac- rament is black and tou%b as the sole of a shoe; and the drink, instead of being passed in & cup, is presented in 2 cow’s horn, and tasteslike poor beer. At the cloze, the Devil burns hitself to ashes, which': rc divided among the witches, in order that ¥ - - may make mischief. After the -Bpirits of * _/enjoy themselyes awhile with the witches, by the extingnished lights, the horrible company scparates. The witches mount: the rams and pokess rgain, and fly in all directions. If they are late, and do uot réach home before the morning-bell, or if, on their journey, they “You may let the ch seen by one who dots not - belong to their bund, they fall aad break their necis. it rains on the 1st of" " THE COURTS. The Affairs of the Globe Insur- ance Company. The Danville - Road---Judgments and New Suits---Bankruptey Business. }Tre Trisoxe & few days ago contained an article ealliug attention to s decree which had then been cotered in the case of Bradner, Smith & Co. vs. the Globe insurance Company, the Fireman's Insurance Company, and George F. Tarding, and intimated that there was some- thing suspicious in the way the case was rushed through to a decision. Saturday two applica- tions were made to bave this decree set aside, one being by Frank II. Follansbee, Receiver of the Mercantile Insurance Cowmpany, and the other by Robert E. Jenkins, Receiver s the case of Hart ¢t al. vs. The Globe Insurance Company. M. Follansbee, in his petition, sets up his appointment as Receiver of the Mereantile Insurance Company, and that he hud opposed the appointment of a Receiver in the present suit. e also statés that ‘he, us such Recelver, filed a bitl against the Globe ahd Fireman’s Insurance Companies and George F. Harding, charging that the Globe Company agreed to reinsure its Fisks with the Mercantile Compuny for $10,300, of which 32,300 was in cash, the remnainder in ‘n mnote for $5,000 sccured by notes and mortgages of the value of $23,500 deposited on collaterals. “This coutract was made on the supposition that George F. Harding, a perfectly respoosible man, was President of the Globe Insurauce Company. ‘The latter Company, however, subsequently de- livered these seeurities to Hardipg. In the Bradner, Smith & Co. bill, no process was serred on Follansbee as Receiver of the Mercantile Insurance’ Cowpany, although he was so much interested, but the pleadiugs were made up between the parties, a reference had by agreement to George Willard, Alaster in Chancery, testimony taken without Follausbee's knowledgre, and a decree entered in favor of Bradner, Smith & Co. aud George F., Harding. Mr. Follansbee now asks to have this claim set aside because it finds fn favor of Harding fora large sum, and directs a sale of the very securi- ties owned by the Mercantile Insurance Com- pany to pay such daim. The bill, Follansbee chargus, s fraudulently dismissed, 28 to him, 80 a5 to cut off his rights. Healso alleges thas Bradner, Smith & Co. were general creditors thout the security of a judgment, and not en- titled to invoke the aid of a court of equity to enforce thelr claim, but should have suedina court of law. Harding isalso charged with no- tice of the Mercantile Insurance” Company’s caims, and it is averred that he acted us he did 5o as to get pussession of the assets above nawed and seli them before the Mercantile Company could haye time to enforce its rights. It is therefore asked that the decrce be set 2side, and all parties reunited to the siit by the Mercantile Insurance Gompany for the enforce- ment of their rights. R. E. Jenkins, 25 Receiver of the Globe In- surance Company, under the appointment of Judge Blodgett, also tiled a petition sctting out ucl:_ury the sune facts and asking for the same relief. TILE CIICAGO, DANVILLE & VINCENNES BATL~ _ ROAD. Judge Drummoud was occupied Saturday morning in Learing a inotion for further time to take proof in the cases of Osgood sud Fosdick & Fish vs. The Chicago, Danville & Vincennes Railroad Company. The Judge refused to grant the application on the ground that the defend- ants who asked for the time had not shown whet points they wished to prove by the new testi- mony. A'motion was also made for the con- firmation of the Master's report filed o fow days ago. The defendants objccted that they had thirty days under the ruie in which to file ex- ceptions to the report, and the argument on the question was postponed until this morning. THE CRYSTAL LAKE PICKLING COMPANY, Tu the case of J. C. Myers et al. vs. The Crys- ta) Lake Pickling and Preserving Company et al., the Master in Chancery, Walter Butler, flled u report Saturday finding that E. B. Sherman and’ Kretzinger & Veeder had_ rendered legal scrvices on behalf of the Company to the amount of $1,500. An order was entered for the Receiver to pay such sum to these attorneys out of the first moneys received by him as Ke- ceiver of the Crystal Lake Picklingand Preserv- ing Company. THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. In the case of Lippiucott vs. The Mutual Life Insurance Company of Chicago, William Ald- rich filed a petition Saturday setting out that he borrowed af the Company some time ago §5,000, giving a note and mortgage as sceurity. Subsc- quently the morigage was released and five Uni- ted States bonds of the issue of 1867 for $1,000 ch, numbered 5,226, 5,227, 76,225, 76,280, and 109,942, were fiiven instead as collateral security. The note has been lost, and the bonds appear to be held by the Company asits absolute property. Mr. Aldrich therefore nsked that the Receiver be required to release to him the bonds unpayment 0 %3,000, and an order was entered by Judge Wiliams to that effect. : TILE CHICAGO PIRE INSURANCE COMPANT.

A philan- thropic citizen of Washington, Penn., has built 8 lnrfi;;swne house on one of the hills surround- ng that quiet little town, fof the reception of dead bodics, and a furnace seientifically con- structed in which they are to be burned. . How many dead bodies will offer themselves it is not casy to decide. The Doctor’s fellow-citizens (of whom, by the way, James G. Blaine long was one) belong, as arule, to ancient Scotch-Trish claus, who make a god of precedent aud walk in the narrow but excellent path of their fathers from the cradle to their death-bed. They will uot be likely to fiing themselves out of thut bed into a heterodox furnace.
